Dear Friends,
Quick fixes to FEMA for the looming hurricane season could actually hinder
efforts to be ready in storm strike zones, creating competition for relief
supplies and confusion about who's in charge, state officials say.
The
Homeland Security Department said Monday it has nearly finished 11 top-priority
changes to the beleaguered disaster response agency, as ordered by the White
House after Hurricane Katrina. It has more than quadrupled its stockpile of
ready-made meals, marshaled teams of fast-moving responders and gathered
high-tech equipment to help emergency workers talk to each other when normal
communication systems are knocked out.
But
emergency response directors in a half-dozen Gulf and Atlantic coast states say
some of the federal reforms limit their own preparations for the hurricane
season, which officially starts next week.

interview Monday, Homeland Security Undersecretary George Foresman

House ordered by June 1, the hurricane season's start, to plug federal
preparedness gaps that Katrina exposed. Aside from creating or revamping systems
to track supplies, alert the public to approaching storms and register
evacuated victims in shelters and hotels, Foresman
said the department has been working closely with state and local officials to
make sure they are in sync with
But most
states have spent the last nine months bulking up their own response abilities,
wary of having to rely on
"We
do that every hurricane season," said Doug Hoell,
